Translation into English

"In the fourth year of the month, I swear by King Ptolemy and Queen Cleopatra and Tryphaena, the gods Philopator and Philadelphus and their ancestors, and all other gods.
To Neoptolemus of the inhabitants of the cavalry, to Glaucus, son of Glaucus, I make this.
To you and to those with you, all matters concerning the events that have occurred through this archive, the writing of which is in your possession,
concerning the existing measurements of two hundred cubits, those with you and the livestock of the royal estate,
let it be said that nothing shall be transgressed, nor shall there be any malfeasance regarding the matters that are under your authority.
Let it be and let my possessions concerning Taba be under the responsibility of the handwriting.
Let it be a criterion."

Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, with several lacunae (missing sections). The document appears to be an oath or legal agreement sworn by an individual, invoking the authority of the ruling Ptolemaic monarchs (Ptolemy and Cleopatra Tryphaena) and various gods. It references property, measurements, livestock, and possibly a royal street, indicating a legal or administrative context.
